Tong Garden Centre Review

Great shopping. Very good facilities. Excellent location for the children on a hot day. Sand pit gives them hours of entertainment.

Bought some fish and had a really good conversation with a guy there who was very knowledgeable about setting up our tank for the 1st time and how to maintain it.

Impromptu visit today , felt very safe. Sanitizer station as you walk through the entrance and not overly crowded so keeping your distance wasnt a problem. Absolutely beautiful xmas display as you walk in the door and a few room sets too which are amazing. Must have taken some work putting it all together. Didnt have much time to spend in there but will definitely be back soon.
Whoever puts all that together deserves a pat on the back....fabulous!!!

Need to show your staff how to treat racial abuse. DISGUSTING! Wouldn t recommend unless you feel like having the experience of useless staff.

Took my son to see santa at the garden centre at first i thought that it was expensive but we'll worth it as u go through the winter wonderland. Will be going back again

Live forty minutes away but never been before. Extremely large premises both indoor and outdoor. Varied goods including a number of franchises from nationally prominent businesses. Large refreshment area run in-house.

Very dissapointing, took my boys here for the santas grotto. They loved the experience, we thought we would feed out boys at the cafe but were greeted in a rude manner, we were told to move away from hot food area as they were not open until 4pm. This was fine but we spoke to in a terrible manner, we then bought sandwiches and hot drinks, we wete given the wrong drink incorrects vhange and a muffin with green mould on it. A member of staff took it away and said what do you want me to do... it was extremely rude, no apology just attitude. Spoke to the manager and got a formal apology and a refund for the muffin and incorrect drink. Jus feel really dissapointed as previously thought highly of this garden centre until I ate in the cafe. Wouldnt give any stars or reccomend.

Winter is not a good time to visit a garden center. I should add to that comment. We visited in January, it is a drab time of year for gardens. The post Christmas lull is upon us and it's cold and dark. At all other times its a great place to go to.

Nice garden centre, good children's play area, excellent cafe. Baby changing closed all day with no alternative available.

Tong garden centre is well worth a visit. The place is quite big and have a huge selection of plants and garden sheds. They also have different shops inside and a really good cafe.

Fantastic Christmas displays and superb Santa visit.

Good place, loads to offer. Can be a little expensive. The kids part is cheap and cheerful. Currently under construction but still has areas for children.

Excellent but pricey, really good kids play area too

Lots of new areas since I last visited. Fantastic shopping facilities.

Lots of lovely Christmas items from decorations and gifts to food and bedding. The cafe offers excellent, reasonably priced, food choices including a selection of delicious cakes.

Lots of choice nice afternoon out, rather pricey in general.

Getting a biit mad now though with a bonmarche and mountain warehouse but still cool!

Loved it Visited before Christmas and it was out of this world. Can't wait for next Christmas.

Really well set out. Lots of selection and prices reflect garden centre prices.

Great place! Plants are high quality and reasonably priced. Food is over priced and not great .. 1.95 for a can of warm lemonade.

Lovely place, great variety and not extortionately expensive some centres.
They have a cafe too. And they also have an outdoor play centre for children which is great. Plus you can take your own food along too so this helps to keep costs down!

Overpriced plants , Hampsons in Wakefield far superior . Tong pricing policy seems to be aimed at the middle class well off .

Sad to see the general pet store go the children loved it and I could collect small animal products that I needed for our pets

Not a lot because they are still clearing Christmas

The children's play area is lovely but the rest is very overpriced and staff a little clueless at times expecially in the pet department

Was Christmas and boy was is special. Beautiful baubles. Decorations, everything beautiful

Enjoyed the visit, great Christmas display. Plenty of parking. Restaurant was very good and well priced.

Love going there! Amazing place for kids to play outside

Went before Xmas, first time for about 30 years. What a difference, I was very surprised how big it is now and how much they have. The restaurant is good and worth a visit

Loved this place, my first ever visit, fantastic selection of garden perenial plants. Highly recommended a visit.

Nice range of "goodies", although not so wallets friendly! Nice aquarium and good areas for the kids.

Good selection of tools and plants and the coffee in the cafe was good. Shame the view outside the cafe was tired and looked a bit neglected. They should take a leaf out of the the Arium's book. Lots of coloutful plants to see from their cafe.

Great place for a quick day out with the kids, food isn't bad either

Good day out with the Grandchildren. Plenty to do and not too expensive

If you like service station catering this is fine but not for me. Lovely spacious areas with lots of tables. However, noise is very loud - no dividers to break it up - noice seems to bounce around and get louder. Being half term it was of course busy and noisy but became overpowering.

We arrived 1015 and half the cafe was closed - the nicer half - open at 11am so we had to wait. We did sit in half that was open but unpleasantly noisy.

The ordering system is broken up so you order at one place, collect drinks at another then take heavy tray across to till where there is only room for one person to put down their tray so you have to stand holding a heavy tray.

Ordered fish - ok nothing special .Won't be returning.

Everything you need for your garden and lots of stuff you didn't even know you needed too

We went for Maidenhead aquatics. It is ok for basic things but very over priced for more specialist fish. Wednesday is 10% discount for OAPs so the car park was very busy. The restaurant is over priced and basic food, reasonable coffee. (probably normal price with discount)

Great food, very busy, slow service, not enough staff?

This was the first time in years that I've been to tong Garden centre and wow its changed. Spacious, light and clean. Even though the car park was full of cars, inside didn't seem busy. The cafe clean, service quick, food hot and tables were always being tidied quickly.

Grasshoppers: Great day out but when the sun is out there is very little shade and no breeze so gets very hot very quick. Theres a sand area, park, bouncing pillow and car play area. Plenty of picnic benches and places to sit if you want to eat.

Brilliant. food lovely n lots to see n do for everyone

The garden centre itself seems good, we had gone with the intention of stocking our fish tank. This was our second trip from Skipton this week to look at the fish. We had decided which fish we wanted but decided to have a cup of tea first. More

A very nice garden center.many other outlets clothing butcher's and aqatic.the cafy is very good. Lovely meals,good value for money.play area for children.

Really large garden centre with good facilities for children, and generous amounts of parking.

Christmas dinner is amazing. Lots to see some loads of fantastic shops

A lovely place to be at Christmas, prices seem better than last year and the big displays are fantastic.

We'll controlled separation of customers, sadly the choice of flowers was not a winner.
Roll on the latter end of lockdown when supplies improve

Very good at what they do. Exceptional Christmas decor, great atmosphere, still keeping thier primary business looking good

Great place that seems to do everything. Not as many plants as I expected but for gifts, food and clothes it's good

Good for all the family and big children s play are

Great garden centre, it's quite big and they've got everything + a small butcher/shop selling all sorts, food clothes, ales etc

Grasshoppers at Tong Garden Centre. Kids absolutely loved it here. Plenty to occupy the children, sand pit, play area, bouncing area... Indoor cafe is lovely, snackbar outside covers the essentials. Plenty of seating, though I wish more of it was shaded. More development underway to create more activity spaces too.

This place is almost a day out in its own right, you can spend hours walking round, with plenty to see inside and out and if you need a break the cafe is excellent. Fantastic selection of goods from food to clothes to fish tanks to plants and everything inbetween. They are just in the process of setting up for Christmas and it looks spectacular, but be aware that weekends are incredibly busy and the place gets packed (you have been warned).

I've grown up with this place and it seems to have just got better and better over the years. Restaurant is a bit pricey but the food is 100% worth it.

Like this place good selection off items only thing is the fox poo that is in places ware kids are walking round staff just looked stupid when told them gran daughter stood in it

Lovely day out, lots of gardening and fashion all under one roof, child friendly

Nice shopping wxperience and afternoon out but very expensive

Went to see the Christmas stuff had a good day out spent some money had a great meal in the restaurant nice :)

Excellent garden centre with a huge choice, and a very large, well kept and modern children's play area. Food a little expensive.

Staff members do not have any manners when speaking to customers

Good activity centre and a diverse array of things to do for children at Grass Hoppers. Constantly being invested in and updated.

Disappointed to find much fewer plants than in previous years. Otherwise lovely and clean.

Huge garden centre on the outskirts of Leeds has a good restaurant with lots of choice and a fantastic children's play area. Great plant selection and garden furniture and accessories selection.
